The 2024–25 snooker season was a professional snooker season featuring tournaments played between June 2024 and May 2025, including the professional World Snooker Tour, the second-tier Q Tour and featured events from World Women's Snooker and World Seniors Tour. The season featured 18 ranking tournaments, including a ranking tournament in Hong Kong for the first time after a 30-year hiatus and a ranking event staged in Saudi Arabia for the first time. The European Series was discontinued and the European Masters was removed from the calendar.
This season saw the reigning world champion Kyren Wilson, the world number one Judd Trump, Mark Selby, and Neil Robertson claim multiple titles. John Higgins won the World Open and Tour Championship, setting a record span of 30 years between his first and most recent ranking titles. In the Triple Crown events, Trump won his second UK Championship title and Shaun Murphy won his second Masters title. After returning from a 20-month ban, Zhao Xintong won four qualifying matches to reach the main stage of the World Championship and went on to win his first world title with an 18–12 victory over Mark Williams, who was the oldest ever world finalist at age 50. Zhao became the first World Champion from China and also the first from Asia. The season set a new record for the number of maximum breaks made in professional competition, with 15, although this record was broken the following season. Trump set a new record for the most century breaks in a single season, with 107.
The World Snooker Tour in the 2024–25 season initially consisted of 127 professional players, but dropped to 126 after Michael White had his WPBSA membership revoked. The tour includes the top 64 players from the prize money rankings after the 2024 World Championship and 31 players who earned a two-year card the previous year.
The players listed below have received a two-year tour card for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 seasons.
The following tables outline the dates and results for all the World Snooker Tour, World Women's Snooker Tour, World Seniors Tour, Q Tour, and other events in the season.
